Apparently it's going to cost us an extra £1.2 million to prepare the Senedd for the increased number of members.
Value for money? |  | | |  |

Nothing compared to the House of Lords. In the evolution of Wales the parliament and self determination is vital for many of us. This is the first Welsh parliament ever.
It can perform a lot better if the voters were more careful in selecting their candidates. The last leader preferred to hang on to £200k rather than his job as the leader which was a pretty poor optic. It showed a lack of fibre. [Post edited 29 Oct 16:09]

I take it you don't know that the voters do not select candidates, they get given a choice of party, the candidate is selected by the party, even that is about to change thanks to the Senedd. Soon enough you will only be able to vote for the party and then they will decide who gets the seat at their discretion.
Who chose the last leader of Welsh Labour? I didn't get a vote. It's like Wales is as undemocratic as the Westminster trough dwellers who Drakeford and Gething were so critical of. | | | |

The labour party selected Gething by a vote. They knew the character of this man who was happy to cash in and give up the job of leading the country. He sounds to be a person of very low ambition and drive. The Labour party voted him into the role.
I will have to research the new voting system you have highlighted which is proportional representation and a fairer system than at Westminster. Welsh voters can punish the Welsh Labour party for picking this man if they chose to.
There is nothing wrong with the WAG that an new broom cannot solve. The WAG has been 600 years coming and a great example to minortiy group worldwide. Kurds, Tibetans Tamil Sri Lankans and Ughiars in China would love such a democratic body respect and peace. |  |

Personally, I would like to know which person I am voting for. I'm what you may call a floating voter and always research candidates and pick what seems to be the most able. [Post edited 29 Oct 22:29]

Only sheep vote for a party irrespective of the candidate. Wait a minute that's what Welsh Labour want. |  | | |

The roots of democracy lie in groups of people identifying one from their community to represent them, now the Senedd are saying we will not know who our representative will be just the party they represent! | |

Exactly, the Labour prty, the majority of people of Wales had no say, It was the same way that the Tories chose a few PM's recently and a way that was criticised by Welsh Labour for being undemocratic, changing the leadwe should mean an election.
It's not PR, they are just taking away your right to vote for a person and saying choose the party then WE will decide who represents you.
I will agree about a new broom but what are the chances of that new broom happening? The Senedd are busy consolidating their position, increasing the noses in the trough and taking awayan essential part of representative politics, our right to choose the PERSON we want. | | | |

Here is the information
https://senedd.wales/senedd-now/news/major-changes-to-the-senedd-approved/
"Unless voting for an independent candidate, people choose a political party to vote for, with the elected representatives coming from lists decided by parties. The names of all candidates will appear on the ballot paper.
It seems instead of voting for a single candidate you are now voting for a listed group of six as I understand it. This means reading 6:summaries not one. Not sure why they have done this. [Post edited 30 Oct 20:57]

Labour trying to cling to power, what an absolute waste of money, they certainly need to order in bigger troughs |  |
